US Version

Nothing very sneaking is going on. There's actually an arrow somewhere.

An arrow has been drawn somewhere, and it's easy to spot. Look carefully.

US Version

Rather than focusing too intently on the room, try blurring your vision and having a look.

UK Version

If you haven't found anything by studying the photograph intently, try casting a casual eye over the whole thing for a while.

US Version

The arrow is somewhere left of center.

UK Version

The arrow is on the left-hand side of the photograph. It's actually disguised as something else.

US Version

Look closely at the paintings in the room. There's an arrow hidden in one...

UK Version

Studying the framed pictures on the wall should point you in the right direction.


Solution

Incorrect

US Version

Too bad!

Look for an arrow.

It's definitely in there somewhere.

UK Version

Bad luck!

Look for the arrow!

Correct

US Version

Chimpressive!

The monkey in the painting on the wall has an arrow hidden in its face!

The tile directly below it is the one hiding the treasure.

UK Version

That's right!

The nose and mouth of the monkey in the picture on the wall combine to form an arrow shape. The treasure can be found under the floor tile directly beneath this arrow.
